Отрывок из книги
You might think it's automatic to trust your brother because you're related to him, but that's not always the case in families. Fortunately, it is the case in ours!
I've known David his whole life and I'm grateful to be able to share this foreword to a tremendous book that has the potential to shift your thinking and impact the rest of your life. Not only am I related to David, but I've also worked with him in a variety of capacities, and I truly trust him. Not only because of our shared parentage. Not only because he has sterling character. Yes, character is essential to credibility but so is competence, and David offers towering competence– his unique insight, capabilities, perspective, and expertise. Those who have worked with and for him routinely describe him as the best leader they've ever encountered. Plus, he is such fun to be around! David is very real, cares profoundly for people, and makes everything so enjoyable.

To avoid a trap you need to see it. You will vicariously experience the awakening of the main character, Alex, as he comes to realize through the coaching of a family friend, Victoria, that he has foolishly been caught in what David and Stephan have termed “The 7 Hidden Obstacles to Success.” The impact in Alex's world is not only felt in his career – it affects him even more in his personal and family life. These 7 Traps are seductive, enticing, and not always obvious. Fortunately, Alex chooses to extricate himself from these traps – but the purpose of the story isn't to experience the relief of Alex's change – it's to shine a light on how these common 7 Traps may enslave each of us.
You may not have fallen into all of these traps, but unaware, you – or someone you care about – may wander into them and be imprisoned, harmed, or limited. At a minimum, you or they will be knocked off the path of achieving what you could accomplish and become. Like Alex in this story, you will see that it takes time to escape from these traps, but it is possible to make your way out.
